BB'ing kept me from having conflicts. I started into it heavily when I joined the military. When I was 180lb it seemed like I was always in the middle of something. I can honestly say I have never started a fight but I can say to that I always had a problem just walking away. I noticed though as I progressed in the gym, the conflicts became less & less. I'm 6'0 & weigh between 240-245. I stay in pretty good shape & cannot remember the last conflict I was in. Being big did not make me a better fighter, but I guess it made the others think twice about starting something. When I lived in Atlanta, I use to hang out at this huge country bar called "Cowboys Nightlife". Wall to wall beautiful women. And being a country bar it attracted it share of red-necks too. One night the pro wrestler "Buff Bagwell" was in there F-ed up & messing with this tall skinny guy. Dude was prob. 6'3 & all of 200lbs. Buff was a decent sized guy too & being a pro-wrestler,had the tough-guy image. You could tell the skinny guy was kind of scared & kept telling Buff he didn't want any problems, but for some reason Buff kept f'ing w/him. So bar closes & we're outside talking to some girls & Buff is standing about 10yards or so from the exit doors talking to some ladies. Tall guy comes out, Buff sees him & starts f'ing with the guy again. Guy trys to walk away ,still telling Buff he doesn't want any problems. Some of my friends & myself are telling Buff to leave the guy alone already, Buff keeps on. Finally, the guy has enough turns around & tells Buff," F-it let's go"! They square off & I swear the skinny guy almost beat Buff half to death. I mean it wasn't even close, he had Buff on the ground & just beat the f*ck out of him. Bouncer literally came out & drug him off the big bad wrestler & drug Buff inside. Cops showed up & we left. True story. The morale of that story is, big or not, you don't ever know who your starting sh*t with & what that other guy is capable of doing. Big does not make you bad.
